Thank God Frankie's gone


Now some other comedians might actually get a word in.

- You must perform the ritual... in a tutu. Pillock.

I'm not quite sure what you're complaining about here. People obviously find it funny if they laugh. Bearing in mind it isn't roaring laughter.

I personally like Andy Parsons, his jokes are usually the most on-topic... I know people LOVE Frankie but I wasn't such a huge fan of him.

Andy Parsons feels like the most normal of the lot. Seems the most relatable at least.

I'd take Frankie over Russell Howard any day. Why is he a regular? He isn't that good. There's plenty of stand-ups they could give some airtime to instead of him.

He's not nearly as bad as Michael Macintyre though. Talk about over-rated.

Holding back the punchline is a technique used by comedians to make the audience think about the punchline before it is said. That way the audience can laugh, and then laugh a second time when the punchline is finally delivered (often in a funny way).
